Finally found the time to put all of my work into one location (in this case, a Linktree):
Links to my published work (academic, research, other essays), features in media, socials, professional profile, contact & Google Scholar.
(Tweeting this to pin.)
Fucking shet I was so drunk last night and also making all these politically incorrect jokes. Was w my Spanish and American classmates, called them colonizers, and when my Japanese professor came down I said “my collection is complete” 😂
Kahit saang anggulo mo tignan, that wasn’t legally nor morally defensible. And if you’re still ready to justify the regime’s policy of death—after four years and thousands of killings later—then this is on you, too.
2 UP undergrads beside me in a resto on what looks like a date date for the boy but a friend date for the girl.
Boy tells her, “smile ka, boomerang kita.” Girl smiles, then proceeds to tell him abt an online encounter abt a UAAP MBT player.
Y’all this is painful to observe
Nagkwento nanay ko last week.
May delivery boy na binigyan ng kapatid ko ng tip, sabi daw salamat pandadagdag sa gamutan ng tatay. Nang malaman ng nanay ko, pinabalik siya. Dahil medical supplier kami, binigyan ng nanay ko ng mga kahon ng maintenance meds si kuya para sa tatay.
Ok non-law Twitter here’s your lesson for today!! Nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege, also referred to as ‘the principle of legality’, says that there is no crime where there is no law punishing it.
Now knowing this, can Vico’s acts made prior to the law be penalized?

Of course we are an angry generation. We are left to fend for ourselves in the middle of an anthropogenic extinction event, a broken economy, shattered social institutions, and gaping inequality.
Atty. Leni gracing the UP College of Law recognition rites. Beautiful speech on what it means to be a lawyer today.
(*the chant* from the graduating class was a nice touch)
Friends, urging you to take caution in joining some FB groups. My source says some rogue elements already infiltrating these groups to identify key people.
As always, remain vigilant, and know who to trust. Mutual care is key in any movement.
How do I tell my students—this is the law: it can be majestic and monstrous. This is the law, at the hands of the truly cruel. This is the law, jailing mothers and killing children. This is the law, steeped in power and inhumanity. This is the law, if you keep your eyes shut.
These are rice and corn fields, fully submerged in flood water. Isabela is the corn basket of the country. Farmers are again facing heavy losses. Please extend help and please widen the media coverage on Cagayan Valley. Photos from my mom.

Harry Roque’s press briefings take me back to the few times he actually held class, where he always took the opportunity to embarrass his students based on physical appearance.
Check your BDO accounts! I lost 140k+ to unauthorized transactions which happened in the past few days. This is a passbook account and I don’t use my debit card for any transactions. The transactions were POS ones in China, Aus, and Turkey.
Scared to post this to a large audience like Twitter, but fuck it. This is my three-week progress. Doing this to improve my health and be accountable. A long way to go.
Kung hindi palpak ‘yung pandemic response ni Duterte e ‘di sana collectively tayong kumakanta ng “you called me up again just to break me like a promise” habang lasing
A month ago, my psychiatrist told me I don’t need meds anymore. Yesterday, my therapist said I am already “mentally well-regulated.”
Didn’t think I will ever get here.
Sino ba ang tunay na bayaran—‘yung mga siyentista na kulang na kulang sa suporta galing sa pamahalaan o ‘yung tumatanggap ng mataas na posisyon sa gobyerno, walang prinsipyo, walang alam?
Ateneo does breed a certain type. I just Googled the name of the guy who didn't contribute to our paper in int'l political economy, and turns out he sued ADMU for not allowing him to enroll for various school violations. Nasa SC na yung kaso. He's also in a position of power now!
I heard “Tala” for the first time in a looooong while tapos na-trigger ako? Because it reminded me of the month immediately preceding the start of the global pandemic??
“May I just ask you why that’s funny? I’m asking you about the plundering of large sums of money from the Filipino people.”
Thank you

A BabyM supporter cousin had this convo with another cousin, referring to me. Tinawag akong “tomboy” at “abno” kasi Leni supporter ako. Ni hindi ko nga kinakausap IRL.
Ganyan sila ka-morally decrepit.
What are some examples of truly evil movies? Not necessarily in terms of depicting it, or thematizing it (or ideology/politics) but that truly feel like they’re channeling something awful into the world?(This was prompted by preparing a lecture on SPOORLOS).
Sen. Kiko’s agenda for agriculture driving its way home in Isabela—citing Isabela’s importance as no. 1 in corn production and no. 2 in rice production nationwide. Laban, Sen. Kiko!!!
Sen. Villar: Wag nyong iaasa sa farmers at fisherfolk kasi sila hindi naman nila naiintindihan yang climate change. Wag nyo nang sasabihing climate change yan.

for allowing me to write this. Thousands of miles away from home, I write about the San Juan hostage incident and how it is intimately linked to labor rights. Link below.
Minsan, nagugulat ako, may mga pinagtapos na pala siya ng pag-aaral. Lagi niyang sinasabi sa akin, ok lang na magbigay ng magbigay, hindi naman tayo makakarating dito kung ‘di dahil sa sa mga taong tumutulong sa amin.
‘Yang panduduro at paninigaw mo, akala mo asa classroom ka pa rin, pwes ngayon hindi na. Accountable official ka na ng gobyerno at may pananagutan sa taumbayan.
What emboldens state agents to kill?
- a miscarriage of the rule of law
- a normalized culture of impunity
- a leader who tells them things like “shoot them dead” and promises protection and reward for killings
VP Leni's answer to the ICC question is just chef's kiss for me. To go back to the reason behind a permanent international criminal court. Plus not just a commitment to allow the procedure to go through, but also to rejoin the Rome Statute.
